"Oh. A dinosaur," Mr. TV muttered. Although he had no face, his tone made it evident that he was bemused. A script tucked between his arm and side, and the other hand holding his coffee, he trotted around the young boy, inspecting his attire. "Hmm, you're shy and adorable despite how huge you are. I think you might be a favorite among the children if I were to make a kids' show revolving around you." After a moment, Mr. TV stopped in front of Vincent and shook his head. "No, that doesn't feel quite right. Kids prefer obvious mascot costumes, weird as it is. You don't look like you'd do well in front of a lot of cameras, either. Hmm, maybe you could still help me out. Hey kid, why don't you watch a few shows I've got lined up and tell me what you think about them? I'll, uh, give you some merchandise on the house!"
Locking the thread because I found one exactly like it lmao
Minnie was minding her business, when she noticed Ted. Where exactly had that TV head person popped out from, and most importantly, what did he want? She had somewhat heard about him and his career, but the mystery around his head as well as that weird gut feeling she had from him immediately made her anxious, and she started feeling switchy. She sighed and tried to relax, but left enough space as she thought James was going to take control and front himself; to her surprise, and actually James's surprise too, the man didn't manage to surface soon enough before it was M, the child alter, who actually sneaked up and took control of the body, cutting both of them out of the situation. The little girl run up to Mr. TV, oblivious about the huge body she was clumsily moving around as usual, and she immediately clinged onto Ted's suit and started screaming excitedly:
"Sir, are you really a TV? A true TV? Do you work as a TV?! That's so cool! I love watching cartoons! I love movies! You must be great at making them!"
M was so curious and excited, other than reassured by the fact Ted didn't have any eyes she was supposed to look at, that she started humming happily and jumping up and down, finally letting go of him. Little did she know... she probably would have been an extremely easy target to get control of. She had seen and lived horrible things, but she still was a kid, and one that was incredibly easy to fool when she was not afraid, for any reason. Manipulating her, almost an useless effort. Luckily for her, before Ted could even fully realize the situation, James managed to front and push the little girl aside: he quickly moved back, gave Mr. TV an intimidatory stare and growled, before leaving the space:
"Stay away from me, just go and do... whatever you're here for"
(have fun with whatever number of alters, I guess)
"Oh wow" Akio blinks, not knowing what to think. "H-How?" He stammers. He looks at them, tilting his head. "That's actually pretty uhm...cool, but I'm sorry about what you had to go through." He shakes his head. "I know how being in a lab as one of their....subjects, feel." he shudders and balls his fists.

He looks at Lami being quite curious, tilting his head and crossing his arms. He never saw a bipedal creature alike them, and he's quite intrigued. He likes the clothes they chose to wear and their hue, perfect for the cold weather, but what strikes him the most is that they look quite a lot like the plush he always sleeps with; this makes something click in his head, so he immediately comes forward opening his arms to hug them. He only realizes what he's doing half way into his action, so he immediately stops, a little ashamed of his own behaviour, and pretends it was just an overly complicated way of moving his arms to fix his own hair.
"Huh... good evening. Cold night, right?". He blocks and gets shy over small talk. "So where are you going? To the town? On your own? Not the best course of action, if you ask me..."
The file is thick, which meant that this was a very accomplished man or a very clumsy one, and the fact that Sal can’t distinguish between one or the other meant that Scopulus already had the upper hand. He was as much of a mess on paper as he was in person.
A wealthy merchant, three marriages, and a history riddled with violence. It would be an eye roller if he were so inclined, why did it always seem like the affluent types who were eccentric thrill-seekers?
Perhaps in a passing glance Scopulus would look like any normal person in the crowd, but there was something there that set off airs, and upon closer inspection you could notice the faded scar on his head, the crooked smile, and his tense posture.
A little girl runs up to him with a matching blue ribbon in her curly hair, and it turns on the switch in Scopulus’ dark eyes.
Sal blinks behind his dark sun glasses and leans back with a huff.
“Plain coffee,” he finally tells the waitress.
Xcallion is so cute ///
SapphireBatWings yes go ahead!
The demeanor that Xcallion senses reminds her of herself. The man is quiet as he looks to the night sky and there is something almost melancholy about him, some deep sadness that she doesn't know. Or maybe she is mistaken and projecting. No matter the case, she feels an urge to speak with him. He seems inquisitive and curious. She can answer his questions about the stars above and she has a lot of questions for him. Xcallion opens her mouth to speak but timidness and awkwardness get the better of her so she stalks behind, waiting for him to notice her first.
luuvy Omg I snorted lmao. Mind if I add that pic to her gallery!? Precious. <3
Willy looked at the boy next to him, he scutters off a bit and starts with light sniffs on Aaron as if he’s a suspicious puppy, he lets out a approved growl before saying “hgmm,, ya ‘aight,,,” he still gives a suspicious stare, but seems curious and maybe,, a little nostalgic? Whatever it is he seems to be fine with Aaron, though a bit on edge of course
CHIP2NE makes itself visible to Willy. It had not trapped or ensnared him yet, simply encountered him, and found it's curiosity getting the better of it. "WHAT ARE YOU, LITTLE MAN?" It floats around him, the ball between its horns bouncing between them slowly and making a 'ping!' noise every time. "I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED A CREATURE SUCH AS YOU BEFORE. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF YOU ARE ADULT OR CHILD." It's unnatural curiosity seems to take over and it smiles. It makes itself half invisible and stands right next to Willy. "YOU ARE INTERESTING. WHATEVER YOU ARE, I SHALL FOLLOW YOU, AND FIGURE YOU OUT, WEIRD CREATURE. CURIOUS THING."
Dot stared at the... Thing, in front of him. His expression said enough about his true thoughts. Wide eyes, a bit of a grimace, and almost even a bit of.. Recognition.
“O-oh... You.. You kinda remind me of... A—An... An old friend of mi-ne.”
He kind of backed into a wall, keeping a distance from the creature. “You... You aren’t a robot, are you? You-you-you seem... You seem kinda different.”, he said, voice just above a whisper. “And... You like- You like- You like games- games...?”
Eventually, he starts to draw closer, cautiously with a look of quiet intrigue. “What... What kinda games? Games? A.. Are they fun..? Can I play..? Will that- that that help us- us be friends? Friends?”
“Cause I could- could be friends- friends with you- You if you want...”
“I cou-ld help you.”
——
“W-Wait!”
Dot tried to run after the demon, his hand outstretched. “Nonono!! I-I-I’d love to.. to be friends!!”
He scooped up a few flowers, making a makeshift flower crown as he ran. “Wait up!”

Cam bounced over to Dot, a smile on their face, “Hullo! I really like the flowers in your hair!” Cam waited for a second, they ignored how nervous Dot looked and continued on, “I sometimes wear flowers in my hair too! D’ya wanna be friends?”
They bounced on their feet, “I love makin’ friends! I...Don’t have very many.” They sort of laughed, but then shook their head to snap out of it, “I-I’m a very good friend! I can take you out for ice cream! Or we can go shopping! Am I talking too much? I’m sorry.” Cam frowned, realizing they were talking very fast and loud, as usual.
Cam thought for a moment, “Hm, well if you do wanna be friends, I’m Cam! Here you go.” They handed Dot a little slip of paper with their address, not really thinking about the consequences of doing that sort of thing, “I-it was nice to meet you!” They turned red and scurried off, feeling kinda bad for bothering him.
Milvus spotted Cam as they were going to work, and immediately hesitated as they saw them. They doubted they were seeing them right, or they were there at all, then Milvus also saw some people looking weirdly at Cam and so knew they were really there. They immediately felt a little uncomfortable and scared: that definitely was one of the monsters. They took a deep breath. They thought, once again, that monsters don't have to be bad or dangerous; they also noticed that Cam seemed bothered by something, and was about to handle their hair. Maybe those people had upset them? Milvus thought some more, then decided that Cam didn't look dangerous, and so walked towards them:
"Hello there! Are you lost?"
Before having an answer, they also added:
"Do you like cooking? It's a holiday today, so having some more help in the kitchen might be useful if you're free!"
